Geography and development
综述地理与发展关系的文献，指出需通过严谨理论与实证分析来理解地理对发展的作用，并更好设计发展政策，探讨经济活动集聚、新中心形成及远离现有中心的后果。
Economic development and underdevelopment is one aspect of the uneven spatial distribution of economic activity. This paper reviews existing literature on geography and development, and argues that rigorous theoretical and empirical analysis is needed to increase understanding of the role of geography in development and to better design development policy. The analytical issues are: why does economic activity cluster in centers of activity? How do new centers develop? And what are the consequences of remoteness from existing centers? Empirical evidence comes both from the international context and from studies of internal economic geography and urbanization.
